Use your smartphone as telescope
Casual Telescope
Well, you won't Believe it, but you have to.. you know what. You can use your smartphone to take telescopic images!!! yeah yeah you can see the rings of Saturn, the clouds of distant nebulae. All you have to do is create a simple smartphone mount and you can see crisp images right from your backyard observatory. Russ McAllister from Cabot, Ark., designed this rig for his iPhone and posted the plans on Instructables.com (search for "iPhone mount for telescopes"). Google Nexus 4 can now also be used. Annnddd I'm gonna teach you how to make this protocol.

All you need is:
transform smartphone into telescope
• Conduit hanger (should fit snugly on eyepiece)
• 6-in. bolt (make sure it fits hole in base of conduit hanger)
• 1-in. bolt
• L-shaped corner bracket
• Washers, nuts, wingnuts
• Two pieces of wood, cut from ½-in. stock: 4½ in. x 3 in. and ½ in. x 3 in. (We used plywood.)
• Rubber bands 


Instructions 

Step 1: Wooden Base Create shelf for phone by gluing small piece of wood (A) across large piece (B). Using drill and jigsaw, cut a horizontal, 2-in.-long slot (C) wide enough to fit 1-in. bolt, as shown. (Slot allows you to adjust positioning.) Cut a rabbet around the slot, on front, to recess bolt head. Next, attach L-bracket (D) to back of wooden base using the short bolt and wingnut. 

Step 2: Assembly Insert 6-in. bolt into conduit hanger base (E); secure with washers and nut. Attach L-bracket to long bolt using washers and nuts, as shown. 

Step 3: Mounting Attach conduit hanger to eyepiece. Use rubber bands to attach phone. Loosen wing- nuts to adjust lens position.
